I love this guy, one of the best drummers I've ever heard. By the time Japan did Tin Drum he had a style & sound totally original & his own. Thank you for posting this
I remember watching this on tv. I went down to the Photographers Gallery & bought a couple of the photos which at £75 each were a small fortune. You can contact him direct now & he sells direct and will sign them for you. A great guy. Best drummer in the world..
Simonwitts - I went too. It was a lovely exhibition wasn't it. I still have this clip on video from the time and I used to watch it over and over again. Steve is a wonderful drummer and a nice guy. I had the pleasure to meet him in 85 while he was playing with Propaganda at a ZTT showcase. My friend and I were invited to attend the aftershow party on stage at the Ambassadors Theatre. I will never forget sitting with him (and lots of others) in his dressing room!
I have been a Japan fan since the beginning. Does anyone have a tip on a video with Steve Jansens brilliant drumming on video? One of the best drumming is the one he does on "Visions of China" but the video does not show that much, neither does the "Oil on Canvas" show.
You got to see some of his drumming on Visions of China when they did the 3 track set at the Oxford Road Show. Someone has put this up already, that's why i'm not bothering to put mine up.
Do you mean the 3 tracks Japan did at the ORS? If so, i'm not so sure that mine is better quality now after all, and its longer than 10 minutes, so youtube won't let me upload it anymore. They've just tightened up on the 10 minute rule in the last few weeks.
The most underrated drummer ever!

STEVE WORKED ON ICEHOUSE ALBUM MEASURE FOR MEASURE IN 1986.
It's called 'Forbidden Colours' by (David) 'Sylvian and Sakamoto' (Ruichi).
It is on my channel and in glorious stereo too.
He's so like his brother.

Wow, thank you, bringing back Ghosts from the past - meaning Steve-san, of course...
